Nigerian Man Narrates How Fake Prophecy Led To His Wife’s Death

A yet-to-known social media user, has shared how he lost his dear wife due to a fake prophecy given at a parish of the Celestial Church of Christ.

The anonymous victim narrated the incident which befell his family in reaction to an investigative piece done by the Foundation for Investigative Journalism with the tag, “PROPHETS OF THEIR POCKETS (I): At Celestial Church of Christ, the Prophets Are Scammers,” and was shared by the founder, Fisayo Soyombo, via his Twitter handle.

The victim who revealed this said his ordeal the issue which led to the death of his wife started in August 2020, when he observed that his dear wife was growing leaner and he mentioned the ordeal it to his mother-in-law, who took her (his wife) to a Celestial church. Getting to the church, she was said to have received a spiritual “arrow” from another person.

According to him, “Because I was extremely busy at work and would not argue with my mom-in-law, I paid the fee they requested, N55k I think for the ‘ise’ (prayer). After a month or so, I went to see wifey and she wasn’t getting any better, so decided to move her to the general hospital and then she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

“In about five months I spent more than N1.3m treating baby but it was too late. Guess what baby still died leaving me a widower at just 27 with my beautiful young kids. All my savings gone because that one month she spent in church would probably have saved her life if we hadn’t spent it in church. (I) lost my job as well because her death broke me and I couldn’t concentrate, almost committed suicide.

“Since February last year, I haven’t step foot in any church but we thank God. Yes I believe in God but sincerely the church of God in Nigeria isn’t it. This is my story.” he said
